Time Zone auto-reset problem

I was having problems with apps quitting, so I did a full restore and now my Time Zone is stuck at "Cupertino, CA"!! I tried to change it to Tokyo, Japan, but every time I go back to the home screen, it resets again!
I seem to have lost the "Set Automatically" feature found at: Settings>General>Date & Time
Could anyone check one their phone and tell me if you have this feature? I swear it was there before I did the full restore...

Thanks so much! Quick question before I try...
Is that the restore from the handset itself (it warns of a two hour process) or the restore from iTunes? If from the handset, when the handset asks me to connect to iTunes for initial set up, should I choose the "use as new phone" (I think that what it says) option?
I was going to choose that the first time I tried a full restore, but I was scared I wouldn't be able to activate the phone properly, so I chose the "back up old phone" option!

Outlook Client recurring appointments time zone / GMT offset problem

I will try to describe this with text, although it's a very visual problem. I added a post to my blog with
it so I could include pictures. If you think you need pictures to understand the text below, please review that entry.  Please note, the one appointment instance cited below, is an example, there are many others with this same problem,
and it only happens with recurring appointments.
Relevant System Information:
Windows 7 Utlimate
Office 2010 Professional Plus (14.0.6023.1000 64-bit)
Exchange services hosted by Microsoft.
Android HTC Inspire 4G also configured as exchange active sync client.
Issue Description:
I have a specifications meeting that is scheduled for Tuesday mornings (every 2 weeks) at 8:30 am. In the body of the appointment, it even has this text spelled out. "When: Occurs every 2 weeks on Tuesday effective 11/23/2010 from 8:30
AM to 11:30 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)." as an indicator of the actual appointment time. The problem is that one day, several weeks after this appointment had been sent to me, Outlook 2010 decided that it was really at 1:30 PM.
Since that time it's been showing incorrectly on my calendar at 1:30 PM.   So, I recognized almost immediately that this was a 5 hour difference, which happens to also be my timezone offset (except that I'm currently in daylight savings time -- so
it's really a -4 offset right now).
I ran the 2010 service pack 1 installer, based on the suggestion of my IT group, and found I already had the service pack installed. I've tried the timezone tool as well and that didn't work. Please keep reading.
Next I went to my exchange host with outlook web access.   The appointment is closer to correct there, showing at 9:30am. It think here it almost seems as though it's applying the DST, but not correctly, maybe doubling it?.
Meanwhile, back in outlook, if I go to the scheduling assistant and look at my time while making an appointment with other invitees it - much to my surprise - matches the time in OWA, not the time in outlook client.
Finally, if I go to my Android and look at the appointment, it is correct. 8:30 AM.
So to summarize:
Real Appoinment:   8:30 AM
Outlook Client Time: 1:30 PM
OWA / Exchange Time: 9:30 AM
Android Calendar Time: 8:30 AM
This applies to many others, this is just a convenient example.
This applies only to recurring appointments.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

Status Update, and recommended next steps:
I opened a ticket with HTC support the day before yesterday (Ticket # 03543601). The initial response was an email reply with the typical level one suggestion to remove and re-add the Exchange ActiveSync account on my phone, and if that didn't resolve the
issue to do a hard reset and then add the account again. Since I have multiple users experiencing this same issue, where the common denominator seems to be centralized around the move from Outlook 2007 to 2010 and the HTC Gingerbread OS, I convinced them that
this would not be an acceptable remedy, and my case was immediately escalated without hesitation. I will say that though I don't have a resolution, I'll applaud HTC for not giving me the runaround and giving me a live person who could talk intelligently about
the issue.
Today, I received a phone call back on this ticket from someone in the escalations department at HTC named Travis. After explaining the issue in detail to him and referencing
this specific thread, he acknowledged that it did in fact sound like a coding issue coming from the device where the value in the “dispidApptTZDefStartDisplay” property was being set improperly by the device/stock email/calendar application in their implementation
of ActiveSync. He then stated that he would relay this to the developers to look into the issue. He further elaborated that the case would either be in a status of, "this is being looked into", or "We believe this to be resolved in [x] update". He said that
they will probably continue releasing updates for the Incredible (I did not specifically ask about the Incredible 2), and while the Incredible 2 is definitely slated to get Ice Cream Sandwich, the Incredible one is still in a classification of, "being evaluated".
Personally, I doubt that the Inc 1 will get ICS, but it is possible. From what I have read, the general stance is that phones will be updated for 18 months after release, and the Inc 1 is 24 months old this month (bummer - I REALLY like this phone).
According to Verizon and HTC, these are the phones that will get ICS (or Android 4.0):
Ice Cream Sandwich Coming to Many Verizon Wireless Smartphones
Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich Updates
While it is possible that an update will be released for the Incredible 1 to fix this issue, it will likely be months before one is available, so we'll probably have to move to Touchdown for Exchange by NitroDesk in order to resolve this issue....or move to
a newer phone with ICS 4.0.
Speaking of which, there is a whole laundry list of issues with Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices. A number of them are listed in this Microsoft KB article:
Current issues with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices
Per the article:
Microsoft's recommendation for Android - Upgrade to Android OS 4.0
Microsoft's recommendation for iPhone/iOS devices - Upgrade to iOS version 5
So, for anyone on Android experiencing this issue (or others listed in the Microsoft KB above), if your phone is likely to get ICS soon, then you may want to hold on and just be vigilant about checking your calendar on OWA. If your phone isn't slated to get
ICS or if you can't wait, my recommendation is to get Touchdown for $20. You may still have to delete and re-create appointments that are wrong, but hopefully the issue won't happen any more once you move to Touchdown. And if they do, at least you've got a
shot at a more rapid fix with a company like NitroDesk. (no offense HTC).
Good luck. I probably won't post again unless I get notice of a fix for this specific issue or some other significantly useful information.

Time zone auto update failed

hello,
I have a BB Passport and recently I was in a business trip in Germany. I noticed that my clock is not updating according the new time zone. All my time/date settings are on automatic - the time zone update and also the time/date set.
I rebooted my phone, I changed the time settings on manual, and again on auto... nothing happened. I had to change the time zone manually in order to have the right time displayed.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Are you sure the issue is not with the network?
If you are sure it is not the network, next easiest thing you can do is a soft reset. See http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02141
Next step if needed is a security wipe. Back up first. Test before doing a restore.
If nothing else works, do a clean OS install. Again, test before doing a restore. And as you restore and reinstall apps, test between each step.

IPad Time Zone and Mail Problems

I got an iPad air with Retina Display yesterday and I can't set the time zone. When I go to set time zone automatically the circle just keeps spinning like it is thinking and won't stop. Also, I have a bell sympatico.ca email and can't connect it to my iPad. Can anyone offer some help??

Same problem. Everything done on the following discussion does not work:

Calender events disappear time zone/location service problem

By accident I turned OFF the location service for the time zone (system services). Then I created a huge amount of annual events (repeating every year) birthdays etc in my calendar by hand. Yesterday I turned ON the location service for time zone and now all the annual events are gone.
I don't have the iPhone calendar synced at all. All my regular events, even the ones repeating every week, is still in the calendar and works properly. I guess the problem is because of the time zone location service, but I can't bring the events back whatever I do. Help needed!

Time zone event shifting problem - please help

Hi,
I have a question: i have done my calendar in ical. I travel with my computer constantly and would like to change time zones accordingly, so my emails and emails i receive are displayed with correct time, etc.. I did my calendar when I was in the US (EST), now that I am in Europe and I change the time zone in the preferences, all my events shift 6 hours. If i enable time zone support in ical preferences, it seems to give me an option to assign each event a different time zone. don't want or need this. Can i avoid ical shifting my (correct) times for events alltogether??
Many thanks for your help!

AppleScript or Automater to Set Time Zone (or just the time)

Hi,
I am trying to have a script that will change the timezone to UK - (ie reduce my macbook by one hour from European time) before I run an application.
I use a MythTV backend on my network that is in UK time, and I am in Europe. However, the mythfront end I have on my mac needs to be in same timezone for it to work with the backend.
However, instead of having to go to the System Prefs before I want to run the myth front end, I'll like to build a Automater workflow (app) that changes time to UK time, runs the mythfront end (and changes back once I close myth front end).
My problem is I can't get any workflow to work to change the timezone. I found a workflow on the net for Automater, but this doesn't work. The auomater app was called 'Set Time Zone 1.0 - by NyghtHawk productions' but only returns this error about not being able to find this file:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/syst emsetup-panther.
(which I guess is obvious as I'm using Snow leopard and not panther)
Does anyone know of a working way to script setting the time in Mac Os X ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

I have solved the Applescripting of System Preferences to change the Time Zone.
My problem is that my time zone (Melbourne - Australia) causes my 3rd gen iPod nano to lose its time zone and time settings when it is _plugged in_ to my mac (Note: Not when it is synchronised).
I have a pair of Applescripts: the first sets the time zone to Noumea, run before the iPod is plugged in and the second resets the time zone to Melbourne after the iPod is physically disconnected.
timezone=Noumea
This script is run BEFORE plugging in the iPod.
This ensures the iPod time zone is not NUKED.
The corresponding script to reset time zone is
run when iPod is physically disconnected
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
(* get Date & Time preference pane *)
tell menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
delay 0.5
click menu item "Date & Time" of menu 1
end tell
(* get Time Zone subpane *)
tell tab group 1 of window "Date & Time"
click radio button "Time Zone"
tell group 1
set value of combo box 1 to "Nouméa - New Caledonia"
We need to focus the combo box before "hitting" return
PROBLEM: we dont know if it is already focused
a) if is already focused the first 'return' key sets the time zone
b) if was not focused the first 'return' key does nothing
the 'tab' key will then focus it
and then the second 'return' key sets the time zone
keystroke return & tab & return -- make it stick
delay 0.5
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Time Zone in Portugal

It seems this is an old issue and it's incredible how Apple didn't correct it yet. When setting the time zone for Portugal in icloud it says Portugal is in Central European Time (GMT). WRONG! Portugal is in the same time zone as the UK and Ireland. I guess Apple thnks this is a minor issue and Portugal doesn't buy that much devices for Apple to care correcting a very old bug. This causes problems synchro with Outlook for example and I don't want to activate time zone management just because of this. Does Apple have a place to report bugs?
BTW, can't add the image as said above. The insert image option is not active....and the file is small sized. and it's a jpg. and i'm using ie8... Sad
Regards
JR
Portugal

Any suggestions??
How did you try to correct the time, Victoria? Don't use "Metadata > Adjust date and time" (unless you already used it - then you need to revert that change), but use "Metadata > Batch change > Adjust Time Zone". The problem is, that when image files do not contain a Time Zone stamp, Aperture will by default use the current system time your mac is set to as the time zone of the images on import. Usually you will set the "Camera Time" and "Actual Time" in the Import panel, to tell Aperzur ethe correct time zones. Only that is not possible, if you are importing images taken in several time zones at the same time.
You cannot batch change all the time zones of all images at once, if the camera time zones differ - it is really a bit involved. I had similar problems with my camera and iPad, when we were travelling in Aslaska and Canada this summer and were frequently changing the Time Zones - sometimes two times a day. The iPad with automatic time zone setting was very problemitic, because I never could be sure of the time zone on the iPad - if there was no Wi-F,i it would use Canadian Time on Alaska ictures and vica versa.
Separate your photos into albums with images that you are sure have been taken with the same camera (iPhone, Canon) and with the same time zone setting in the camera.
Then, e.g., select the album with all photos taken on the iPhone, with the Time Zone set on the iPhone to "Portugal" and use Metadata > Batch change > Adjust Time Zone" with the setting "Camera Time is Portugal" (since your camera was set to Portugal, when the photos have been taken)
To prevent this kind of problem, I always keep all camera times set to UTC. This way I always exactly know the time the camera was set set, when I import the image and do not have to remember to change the time when travelling. Only, that is not feasable with iPhone and iPad. If you want to use your iPhone as a clock and not only as a camera, it is impractical to have it set to UTC.

How can I create a time zone neutral calendar?

Hi folks,
I have a particular problem that's been bugging me lately: my calendar is all screwed up. I live in the Central Time Zone, but often travel back to the Eastern Time Zone. The problem I have is pretty simple: when I schedule things in my calendar, I schedule them for the time I need to be there.
The most recent example: while on the road, I had a referral finally come through. So I made the appointment when I received the call, and the appointment was obviously back home. I entered it for 10 am, but when I traveled back home, my calendar displayed it as 9 am. I caught it this time, but that was a first.
Maybe this is a helpful feature for others, but I find that I never need it. I am always scheduling things for local time. I can't even imagine a scenario where I'd need a feature like this -- I'm sure they exist, but not for me.
I can't tell if this is an iOS feature, a Google Calendar feature (I sync my Google Calendar with Calendar.app on iOS, although I pretty much add and edit appointments on iOS) or a conflict created between the two.
If anyone has ideas on how to handle this, I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
As far as understanding there is no direct way to cater this requirement.you have to work around
Create table in V/03 with combination of field Customer and delivery time
Create access sequence in V/07
Create condition for lead time in v/06 and assign the above created access
Then create condition record for the lead time condition
Then In IMG >> SD >> Sales >> Sales document >> define delivery agreed time
Then delivery time field available in sales tab at header/item level
Hope this will help

Problems with auto-scale vertical charts when change time zones

I have built an application that utalizes Vertical Strip Charts. Basiclly, XY Charts that are filled with 100 points of data each loop cycle. To get the Time portion of it I use the Get Dat/Time in Seconds Function and then typecast it to a double. I have built the application and installed in on several PC in my same time zone no problem, but when I send it to someone in the UK on GMT time the strip chart does not update correctly. The scaling is off. The interesting thing is the most recent time on the chart is correct and is updating correctly, but the time at the top of the graph is not correct. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreaciated.

Can you post a copy of this application, or an example that would demonstrate this? If you change your timezone on your computer to UK's timezone and restart LabVIEW (which is necessary for the change to take affect in LV), do you see this behavior?

Time zone problem between mac and windows

i'm running os x snow leopard on one partition and windows 7 on another on a 2008 mbp. whenever i log into windows and then get back onto mac, my time is completely off. i can temporarily fix it by removing the local time file, which resets it, but every time i log into windows and back i get the same problem. i've tried turning off the automatic time zone, tried turning off auto everything and just setting the time myself and it always goes back to being messed up after a trip to the windows partition.
anybody got a fix?

For windows users can you create a connection key in Windows machine and send the same.

Time Zone resets to Cupertino - repeatedly

I noticed that the clocks showed incorrect times and then found that my time zone had been set to Cupertino - I live in Switzerland. I try resetting it many times but it still jumps back to Cupertino. Now I can't set alarms and many other things gets screwed up! I reset the phone once and got the latest build I guess of the iPhone 2.0 software.
How do I get back to the older version? Is there a fix for this problem?

"mee too". I don't have a solution, just the same problem with more data.
I believe that the problems began when I updated to itunes 9.
two iphone 3gs, one US at&t, one French Bouygtel. same apps on both.
two different macbook pros running os10.5.8, itunes 9.0.2
variables:
at&t phone - (date & time: set automatically: off, time zone set manually to Paris)
french phone - (auto set function does not exist, time zone set manually to Paris)
laptops - itunes (preferences:devices: Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically is checked) computer timezone set to Dallas)
as soon as a usb connection (either mpb) is made and itunes recognizes either phone (before syncing), the phone time zone changes to match the computer (phone time zone shows Houston).
other info:
on the at&t phone if "date and time:set automatically" is on, the problem does not occur. the phone remains slaved to the network time signal.
if itunes is not running when the usb connection is made, the problem does not occur. as soon as itunes launches, the time zone resets as before (even before syncing).
apple tech support did not have any solutions. if you have any additional input, please let me know.

Problem in Date time Zone parsing

Hi Guys,
I want format of String of time whic have time zone also. But how can i validate weather my date is correct or not .
This is i am doing because of Auto grow up problem in SimpleDateFormat.

but if i am trying "15.00 AM GMT" as per mask it should be invalidated because after format it will return "3.00 PM GMT" this is also working as per my expectaion
But When i changed the Timzoe mask from GMT to PDT it get again fails

Problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk

All Belarus users of Mac and iPhone/iPad have a problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk. If you set time in AUTO, then time going down for 1 hour from actual time. That is happened after Belarus didn't went for winter time this year. In this case on all Mac's and iPhones and iPad's didn't work at all Face Time, iMessage, iChat. Apple still not reacting for this problem.

Same issue here... That is really annoying when such a good things like iCal sync just doesn't work.
Also, in case if you trying fix it somehow... here is a lot of issues related to this one. e.g. if the time zone settings were set in manual order; we're get an authorization issue with applications like Twitter...

I am just going to give you examples of what I think you want to do.
This just shows you a list of my calendars in my iCloud account. Note the "Hide" to the right of the "iCloud"? That only appears when you hover the mouse over it.
This shows what happens with you click on the "Hide".
Notice that I've unchecked "The Boys" calendar? That makes all of the events that are located under "The Boys" to disappear.
This just shows what happens with I re-check "The Boys", note "Joo's Medication" is now showing on June 1 at 12PM?
This just shows what happens when you click "Calendars" that is next to the "+" in the gray area.
So any of my examples what you are thinking of?
